The buyout money would be funded because those paying it feel like they’re not getting ROI on field with the current roster they helped pay for (which is enough to be competitive).
Colorado had a record year for fundraising- whether you feel it was enough $$ is another conversation that can be had and I see your point.
Two things can be true- more NIL is always better and may help. But being bottom of the big 12 standings in a record fundraising year when your current budget is on par with the rest of the conference, it seems disingenuous to expect donors and legacy buff fans to respond positively when someone says “hey we just need more NIL money- that will fix it.”

You never tried to hear what I said. You followed the mob. I never said Colorado shouldn’t be winning with the roster they have. I said why would you pay for an over 20mil buyout without a significant investment into NIL. But the facts don’t matter when the narrative is easier.View quoted post on X
